Just bought some Tmax

In a fit of madness at the site I usually buy film, I saw that my usual film (Fomapan) was not as cheap as it used to be, so started looking at alternatives. I've not really experimented with Kodak films, apart from a few rolls of Tri-X, so thought I'd get some Tmax 100 in 120 size.

Anyone using or used this film?

yes I´ve used it for one project in 35mm. as any other delta-film it has very fine grain and smooth tonality. develop it in atomal and you will hardly find the grain on normal sized prints Smile I think best it´s for shooting women Wink

I have used that film in 120 and 35mm, and I liked it, except for the price Laughing
